I'm trying to get something set up for this Sunday the 5th at Credit Island. Basically we'd be drilling holes and setting sleeves for 18 pins. It goes pretty quickly if you have two teams of about two or three people working together.

This is contingent on whether or not the City can supply us with and auger, cement, and a 4 wheeler.

If you're interested in feeling good about helping to put the newest course in the Quad Cities in the ground, post up here, or call or text me at 563-676-6686.

Thanks,

John

Not my favorite approach to course installation. I've played way too many new courses where Baskets were hastily put in. I will always prefer to play a completed course over a partially completed course with the "promise" of amenities in the near future or down the road. Most times a lot of the needed things never get done because the volunteers are too busy playing their brand new partially completed course.

I've been involved in this process since the beginning and John Resch and the Quad Cities Disc Golf Club in cooperation with the City of Davenport have been on top of this project in a very professional way. The City has maintained solid communication with us and have been very quick with making everything come together. Mike Robinson and I have walked the course for over 20hrs trying to design on wide open space with the hopes of future prairie/wetland restoration...I expect that the city will continue to wow us with their cooperation!

There's no doubt in my mind that everything is going as you could only hope with any course installation...great job John and everyone involved!

River is still on the rise for the next week or so. I don't know specifics on course location at Credit but generally speaking, it looks like things will be pretty soggy there until late April/ early May, longer if its a rainy spring.

As many of you know, pads are poured and the baskets (with the exception of hole 4, as we were unable to locate the sleeves) are in.

Chris Sprague and I spent a lot of time out there the past couple weeks trying to nail down the missing pin positions so that the tee signs can be completed and up by this weekend. Ron Rasmussen was a big help to us in locating buried sleeves with his fancy metal detector.

I know a lot of people put time in out here over the last two years to make this a reality, and I really want to thank you all for your time and effort.

Two people that were crucial in developing the design of this course were Mike Robinson, and, of course, Chris Sprague. As evidenced by what we have at Camden II, you can see that Chris really has a great vision and ability to make something great out of what he has available to work with.

Thanks again to all that were involved. Enjoy!

What if you get the GPS positions for each pin? Would that be easier to find after high water? Or were they buried too much to find.
